How to... wow your valentine

Forget the bunch of flowers grabbed from the garage. Leave the Milk Tray on the shop shelf. For romantics looking to impress their loved one, lastminute.com has come up with the most ostentatious Valentine's package around - and it's a snip at £30,000.

You'll stay in a suite at one of London's top five-star boutique hotels, with a butler and chauffeur-driven Bentley at your beck and call. Get glammed up with a makeover and hairstyling for her and traditional barber treatment for him - and a tailor-made suit and designer evening dress worth up to £2,000 are thrown in too (a personal shopper will accompany you to the capital's best shops). Follow this with a bath in pink champagne, before a seven-course tasting menu served in your room - to the sounds of a harpist in the background. And that's all before the pièce de résistance is produced - £10,000 of De Beers diamonds, which you can choose at an in-room presentation or from the shop.

Hotels include the Milestone Hotel and Apartments, the 41 Club and the Ruben at the Palace from the Red Carnation Hotels collection. Visit lastminute.com.

Where to... fly naked

Naturists holidaying in Germany will be able to take their love of stripping off to new heights, with nude flights launching this summer. German travel agency OssiUrlaub.de is offering naturist flights on a day-trip between Erfurt in south-east Germany and Usedom, an island in the Baltic Sea, known for its white sand beaches.

All passengers will be required to get their kit off for the hour-long flight - once they've boarded the plane - although the pilot and flight attendants will remain fully clothed. According to the founder of OssiUrlaub.de, Enrico Hess, the flights are aimed particularly at former East Germans whose taste for naturism, or 'free body culture' (FKK) as it is known in Germany, grew under Communist rule.

'In the former East Germany, naturist holidays were a much-loved way of spending the best weeks of the year. We want to make that freedom possible above the clouds too,' he said.

If you fancy flying in the buff book soon, there are only 55 seats. Tickets cost €499. OssiUrlaub.de
